Test Updates & Key Features of the Worksport COR

The Worksport COR system is not a simple box of batteries; it is a highly advanced, smart, and versatile energy system designed to meet the growing needs of users in diverse industries. Recently receiving results from late-stage laboratory testing, Worksport is excited to share the unique combination of features that set the Worksport COR system apart from others:

Superior Performance: Extensive testing has demonstrated COR's superior resilience compared to its top competitors. During extreme temperature and load tests, COR maintained stable performance, withstanding conditions of 113°F (45°C) without shutting down, whereas other competitors faced limitations. Furthermore, the COR display was tested to function at -40°F (-40°C), a feat none of the tested competitor products achieved. Additionally, the Worksport COR system passed 2000W load tests with nonlinear loads, such as high-powered microwaves and air compressors, demonstrating its reliability in even challenging environments.

Smart Features: Each component of the COR system, including the battery, MPPT charge controller, and hub, operates independently with intelligent control and communication features. Users can monitor and manage their system remotely via a mobile app, offering detailed insights into power consumption, battery status, and energy generation. The app even includes advanced functionality such as battery identification, where users can easily pinpoint and manage specific batteries from their COR system. With COR being a fully modular system, its base power starts at 1.5 kWh and can be expanded with additional batteries. Worksport is considering offering a future subscription service for customers interested in adding more batteries.

Advanced MPPT Technology: Worksport's proprietary MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) charger is fully integrated with Bluetooth and cloud capabilities, enabling real-time power monitoring and collection of valuable data for both users and strategic partners. The solar charger works seamlessly with any solar panel producing over 70V, giving users flexibility across various brands. The MPPT technology optimizes energy harvesting, providing superior efficiency in powering equipment and charging batteries, and is ready for carbon credit generation through online tracking.

Hot Swap Capabilities: The COR system will come in two versions, with the Pro version offering a unique hot swap feature that ensures uninterrupted power. Users can remove or replace batteries while maintaining a continuous power supply. This feature is a game-changer for heavy-duty users who require seamless transitions in energy supply without risking downtime. The COR Pro's integrated battery provides 1,700Wh of energy, designed to handle demanding applications with ease while a user replaces the external battery.

The COR & SOLIS Ecosystem: The Future of Portable Energy

The COR system integrates seamlessly with Worksport's patented SOLIS solar tonneau cover, creating a powerful clean-tech nano grid. Together, these products are designed to revolutionize portable energy for both recreational and industrial applications. The combined system allows for flexible power generation and storage, transforming pickup trucks into mobile energy hubs capable of powering everything from tools to household appliances. Moreover, Worksport will look to integrate the COR & SOLIS systems into a wide variety of applications outside of the truck bed.

Rafael Oliveira, CTO Designate of Worksport, commented: "The COR and SOLIS ecosystem is designed for unmatched versatility and innovation. Our MPPT technology allows for superior energy harvesting. The potential to track real-time data from hundreds of thousands of SOLIS units on the road opens new opportunities for carbon credits and R&D feedback. This system isn't just about power-it's about unlocking the potential for smart, sustainable energy on a global scale."

Worksport's Clean-Tech Market Opportunity

Worksport is tapping into a fast-growing, multi-billion-dollar market with its COR Portable Energy System and SOLIS Solar Tonneau Cover. The global portable power station market is rapidly forming with an increased appetite for off grid power and clean energy. Worksport is positioning itself to challenge a leading Chinese competitor that is growing at 300% annually with over $1 billion+ in yearly sales. Worksport's COR will come at competitive price points with a product it believes to be superior.

Furthermore, Worksport will have a unique advantage with a first-to-market patented SOLIS Solar Tonneau Cover being a perfect complement to the COR. Worksport is strategically positioned to penetrate the multibillion-dollar tonneau cover market, which is expanding at a CAGR of 8.6%, by leveraging superior cost efficiency and American ingenuity. Worksport believes it is well-positioned to capture significant market share. Worksport recently announced record-high revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 2024, and Worksport expects to continue setting records in subsequent quarters.
